Its overview and demonstration of the basic tools used in each trade help lay the foundation of understanding for the trades, and pique student interest in developing do it yourself practical knowledge that can also lead to electrician as a possible career choice. Inside the Electrician s Toolbox provides an introductory level overview of the electrical system, highlighting the materials and tools used in electrical work, and emphasizing important safety precautions to consider when onthe-job. The program provides key demonstrations of a wide array of tools used during various electrical tasks, and concludes by highlighting resources that are available to those interested in becoming electricians. Main Topics Topic 1: Introduction The program s host, Alan Pratt, takes the viewer on a brief tour of the electrical system, tracing how power gets from the utility company to the home. Topic 2: Electrical Work Materials This topic sheds light on the various wires and cables that carry the current to the myriad of boxes, receptacles, and switches in a typical electrical system. Topic 3: Safety Beginning with a run-down of the safety organizations that directly impact electrical work, the host goes through a very important list of safety precautions to follow when on the job. 5
6 Topic 4: Electrical Work Tools There s no better way to gain an understanding of the tools used in electrical work than to see them in action. Key electrician tasks are highlighted, including planning a job, running cables, testing various points in the electrical system, wiring a box, and performing finish work. Topic 5: The Future The program concludes with some resources that are available for students who want to learn more about career options for electricians. Fast Facts Most outlets for normal household use in consumer homes are 125V 15A straight-blade receptacles, designated as NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers' Association) Think an electrician by any other name is not the same? Think again. An electrician can also be known as: Journeyman Electrician; Inside Wireman; Maintenance Electrician; Protective-Signal Repairer; Water Transportation or Construction Electrician; Protective-Signal Installer; Street-Light Servicer; Neon-Sign Servicer; Ship-Boat Manufacturing Electrician; or Residential Wireman. The number of electrons passing a given point is called an ampere, or amp. But it can also be expressed as the number of coulombs per second going past that given point. Thus, one amp equates to one coul/sec. Thomas Edison not only started the first electric company in 1879 and opened the first power plant for consumer use in 1882, but was the father of invention for over 2,000 new products, including many electrical devices such as meters and switches, fuses, and sockets. Transformers allow electricity to be carried efficiently over long distances. They were invented by William Stanley, who in the 1880s created an induction coil that created AC (alternating current) electricity out of DC (direct current) electricity. His company was later purchased by General Electric in The word circuit comes from a Latin word meaning to go around in a circle. Electricity travels in the circle of a closed loop, but when the circuit is open, the continuous loop is broken and electrons cannot move, so electricity cannot power a device. When you turn on a lamp, a tiny wire in the light bulb closes to complete the circuit and permits electricity to flow through it. Did you know you could be using the same electricity that your grandparents did? 1937 was the last year in which any new electricity was generated in the U.S. Ever since then, the same electricity has been continuing in a loop to and from consumers. Old test tools should be replaced with new ones, because the latest test tools contain additional safety features that didn t exist as recently as 10 years ago. Don t be one of the estimated 58 people who die each week as a result of electric shock. Use an equipment bonding jumper more commonly known as a grounding pigtail to ground your device. A grounding pigtail is wrapped in green insulation and comes with a pre-attached grounding screw and a pre-crimped fork connection for easy connection to the device. 6 The job outlook looks good for electricians. Electrical devices and wiring will always need to be installed, maintained, and repaired. Electricians will be in high demand not only for new computer and telecommunication installations, but also upgrading and updating older homes and facilities to comply with new electrical codes, and to take advantage of new technologies for their smart homes.
